Description
Marutpong Panya and co-authors report a 2026 lab study on sugars from two farmed mushrooms, Lentinus polychrous and Lentinus squarrosulus. Mushroom sugars can act as prebiotics, foods that feed gut germs. The team tested whether crude extracts change the mix of bacteria from human stool in a lab model.
After fake digestion in the lab, much of both extracts stayed intact, which suggests they could reach the colon. In the test jars, the extracts raised helpful groups such as Bacteroides and Parabacteroides. They also lowered pH and two ratios used to sum up gut balance. One group, Fusobacterium, rose too, and the authors say its role needs more study before claims are made.
